North Macedonia, (Tikveš AD)
100% Rkaciteli
13.5%
A vibrant, thick-skinned, cool climate grape, Rkaciteli originally hails from the Republic of Georgia. In the case of Jordanov, what we find most fascinating is the ironic planting in one of Europe’s hottest, driest regions. The Baltic continental front and Mediterranean front collide in Tikveš, North Macedona, creating a pocket with virtually no rain. The result is a study in paradox: lush, fruit-filled weight combined with a zinging finish.
TASTING NOTES: This wine shows bright and fun notes of kiwi, star fruit, white pepper and ginger.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Cheeses, potato dishes, salads, meat soups, green beans, Khachapuri (cheese-filled bread) and pies.
